I've never lived anywhere but there, so I wouldn't really know? The way Miach explains it, in other times people would live for the sake living but only for themselves? And they'd hurt others in the process. This kind of self-interest is what caused the Maelstrom too, I guess.

In my world, you're everyone's property. You live for everyone, not for yourself. 'Everyone's hostage', Miach would say.

I really don't know, I'm not as smart as her.
